Both natives of Redlands, California, Dave Aranda and his wife, Dione, are high school sweethearts.

The couple started dating during their sophomore year at Redlands High School.

“I was the linebacker, and she was the cheerleader, and those that meet her, she’s still 100 percent a cheerleader,” said Dave Aranda.

Furthermore, Dave Aranda often expresses his love and respect for his longtime partner and credits her for everything he has achieved to date.

“I would not be here without my wife, she is the unlimate coach’s wife, the effort and the energy you put into our family.”
